I took a job at Intel with the hope of finding startups in California, but it wasn't a job I looked forward to doing year after year.

I interned at a startup where I loved the ownership and autonomy, but I felt a lack of direction, which led me to join IBM for mentorship.

While working at DataCore, I realized my job was becoming repetitive and I wasn't growing, prompting me to seek new challenges.

Working at a big company often makes you a small part of a large machine, which limits your learning and slows your pace of growth compared to creating your own startup where you are responsible for everything.

If I were working at a legacy company resistant to adopting new technologies, I would consider moving to a more innovative company to ensure my career growth and learning opportunities.

I initially pursued a career in tech, working at Amazon and Groupon, but I found that chasing what I thought I knew gave me a sense of competence without purpose, leading me to realize the importance of following my passions.

I had planned to intern at Goldman Sachs, but I realized I was having much more fun working on our project with my friends.

Working at a large company can cost you opportunities; for instance, I missed out on a chance to work with Peter Thiel, which I later realized cost me significantly.

After university, I initially felt confined in the family business, so I explored other projects before returning to work on ambitious engineering projects.
